February 19th: Last weekend was one of the most newsworthy weekends
in ROH history. Of course the big story is that Takeshi Morishima
won the ROH World Title from Homicide last Saturday in Philadelphia.
There is an article on the main page of ROHwrestling.com detailing
the title win. We will have much more on this all week right here in
the ROHwrestling.com Newswire. Morishima will make his first defense
of the title against BJ Whitmer this Friday in Dayton. Morishima has
stated that if he makes it past Whitmer, he will defend it in Tokyo
at Budokan Hall on March 4th against KENTA. If Whitmer does not win
the World Title in Dayton, there will be no ROH World Title defenses
on the big shows in Liverpool and Detroit. The pressure is on
Whitmer this weekend. The ROH Video Wire this week will have
highlights of Morishima's matches against Samoa Joe and Homicide. If
you are unfamiliar with the new ROH World Champion you need to see
this week's ROH Video Wire. It will be available for FREE later this
week at ROHvideos.com.

February 19th: The other major news story is ROH's 2006 tag team of
the year split up. Roderick Strong shocked everyone at the sold out
Manhattan Center last Friday by turning on Austin Aries. Check out
the article on the main page of ROHwrestling.com for the details. By
the end of the weekend, Strong, Aries and Jack Evans all said that
they would put new factions together. This will be a very
interesting story to follow and we'll have more details this week in
the ROHwrestling.com Newswire.
